Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

I will have two little jingles available today, December 10, at 10 a.m. Pacific time, on PFATT Marketplace: http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/monkeycats.htmlThey are a fully sculpted figure, Edgar Elf, and a Christmas candy cup featuring Eddie Elf and Santa Mouse on the front. Both items are handmade of paper mache and wire.

Edgar Elf has the addition of a bottle brush Christmas tree topped with a paper mache star added to his material list along with wood used for his legs and base. Edgar also has a tiny paper mache ornament hanging from the tip of his striped cap, and has striped sleeves and leggings that visually tie into the stripes located around his base. Small peppermint swirl details can be found as vest buttons as well as at the tip of each collar point and the bottom of his elf vest. To complete his look, Edgar is wearing curled toed elf shoes and stands on a small snow mound that helps form his base. He stands 12" tall to the top of his cap and is finished with a matte polymer finish.

The second piece available is a Christmas candy cup featuring Eddie Elf with his buddy, Santa Mouse. The two of them probably create more mischief than completing toys for Santa's workshop, but since they are so creative the big elf himself overlooks their playful nature. In the close up below you can see Santa Mouse swinging on top of Eddie's jingle bell while he holds a candy cane in his other hand.

The top of the candy cup is trimmed with green scalloped shapes accented by a fine green and red dot garland completing the border. Ornaments, pine and holly hang from the top border to complete the design of the candy cup on the sides and back.

I hope you like how Edgar turned out and that the new candy cup will fit the ticket for a spot in your Christmas decorating or gift giving needs! As always, thank you for your consideration!
